The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.5 and 3.51
  • Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.11

SYMPTOMS

After you connect to two multi-homed NetWare 3.11 servers from a Windows NT multi-homed server running the Gateway Service for NetWare (GSNW), Windows for Workgroups 3.11 clients cannot access files on the NetWare volumes shared through GSNW for about five minutes. After five minutes, the clients can access the NetWare volumes, but the following error message appears: 

   No Files Found

CAUSE

This problem occurs when you have different gateway accounts for each GSNW to NetWare server session.

RESOLUTION

To correct this problem, create one gateway account for all GSNW to NetWare server sessions.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.5 and 3.51. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
